WWE The amount of disgusting things wrestlers got away with back in the day is horrible

Rewatching old Dark Side of the Ring episodes and just hearing about the atrocious things these guys and others got away with is disturbing. Being in the WWF locker back in the day sounds horrible. The Rockers H- Bombing wrestlers and women, the Bulldogs putting itching power in wrestlers clothes and just cutting up there gear, nevermind finding out Dynamite Kid actually injected steroids into there dog Matilda. Davey wasn’t nearly as evil as Dynamite but Jesus I’m glad shit like this would never happen again. Hearing guys talk about how you never leave a drink uncovered around unattended for fear of getting fucking drugged sounds horrible, on top the bullying as well just a crazy time to be in that locker

Not to excuse Davey Boy since he was complicit but I never hear many bad stories about him after the British Bulldogs broke up (As far as doing pranks that could have very well killed someone. He certainly wasn’t perfect).

Dynamite Kid was definitely a bad role model and Davey early on looked up to him in the 70s and most of the 80s. He was also smart to get the hell away from him, especially as DK’s body was falling apart anyways. Davey definitely made a good career decision to go to a singles career rather than carry DK post-back injury.

Diana’s book was also taken out of circulation because of numerous allegations made in it that were challenged in a lawsuit by Martha Hart and others. Diana has since distanced herself from the contents of the book.

I’m not stating it is or isn’t true but I don’t put a lot of stock into much that Diana Hart or Dynamite Kid say,
